Summary: The barn is a lovely, quirky place to stay. Downstairs is nice and cool in the summer heat - upstairs perhaps a little warm on summer nights. Loved being able to listen to some of the huge variety of music available on the large verandah. Having both an outdoor pool and indoor spa is a bonus. Very peaceful and relaxing. Hosts very helpful. Many thanks.

Summary: Always something to catch your eye. Cool fire, mint record collection. The explosions to scare the birds off the grapes ruined any sleep in sadly. Would've been nice to have known before we booked
